Moving money from India to the US
Help with moving money out of an NRO account, including the certificates your bank asks for.
You can move up to $1 million out of your NRO account in each Indian financial year, after tax has been paid. Banks ask for Form 15CA, and usually a chartered accountant's certificate on Form 15CB, before they send the money.
Money in NRE and FCNR accounts can be moved freely and does not count toward the limit.
What this covers
- Checking what counts toward the $1 million limit.
- Forms 15CA and 15CB.
- Proceeds from a property sale or an inheritance.
- Reporting the transfer and the accounts in the US.
